Head IV

One of the first mornings we went in to see our son in the NICU, he had a catheter coming out of the left side of his head. It was explained to us that they were unable to find a vein anywhere else, so they had to shave a section of his newborn hair and put the catheter just above his ear. With his head being so small, it looked like a giant needle sticking out of the top of his head. It was incredibly dramatic and once again broke my heart. I was also handed a little card that had the lock of hair they had to shave off- it read 'my first haircut'.
